A map of your first 90 days in Germany
What to do in order: registration, status, Jobcenter or Agentur, language, money, work.
Free · No obligation
Does this sound familiar?
"I do not know where to go first."
The order of steps matters more than your language level.
"Everyone tells me something different."
Because everyone has a different status. First we establish yours.
"I am afraid of missing a deadline."
Deadlines exist and they are short. We build you a calendar.

Language first, everything else later
Reality
Some steps are deadline-bound and cannot wait for your German.
